The girls helped set up for more doll and pony photos yesterday morning. First they were mesmerized by the blue scillas blooming in my grass. (We planted a lot of bulbs in one end of our backyard last fall in the hopes of creating our own scilla field eventually).

Teagan and I had gone out front to pick a bouquet of dandelions off the neighbour's front lawns. The yellow bouquet included a daffodil someone had picked from our garden and just discarded on the boulevard.....

I always get 'caught' by the word backyard!
Backyard here in the UK is a small paved area with no grass.......and I mean small! LOL!

I love that you are making your very own scilla patch, it is coming along nicely by the look of it.
And I love the photos of the ponies and the doll very much too, but the best photo is of Teagan and Natalya drawing with the chalk!
What fun you all have!

I suppose it would be helpful to be fluent in every version of 'English', and know what words mean something totally different.

I wish I'd though of planting scillas in my back grass years ago. By the time it's a true blue carpet I may be to old to take photos in them.

As long as the girls enjoy the doll & pony photos, we'll continue taking them. I'm trying to get them involved more - as with drawing the hopscotches on the sidewalk. I think they get more out of the experience that way.
